Bath repair near Brookvale

When we’d advise against a repair

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we can’t get to from below
  • Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
  • A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before booking.

What we work on

  • Roll-top & freestanding
  • Whirlpool & spa baths
  • Cast iron enamel
  • Acrylic
  • Pressed steel enamel

Bath repair at your home in Brookvale

Small damage on a bath is worth repairing early. On steel and cast iron, exposed metal starts to rust, and on acrylic, a crack keeps spreading while the bath flexes. A repair stops both. Our repair technicians work on pressed steel enamel, cast iron enamel and roll-top & freestanding, and the jobs we see most are chips along the edge of the bath and rusty patches near the plughole.

You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Brookvale as everywhere else we work.

Looking after it afterwards

Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:

  • Don’t leave a fresh chip for long
  • Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
  • Give the bath a quick rinse after use
  • Keep metal cans and razors off the surface

Keep metal objects like razors and cans off the surface, because they can mark the enamel. And fix dripping taps promptly.

Small chips are quick to repair. Left alone, they stain and can rust, so early repair saves time and money.

How we price bath repair

Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:

  • What the surface is made of
  • The type of damage
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Whether we combine several jobs

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.

How to get a fixed price

The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • The material, if you know it
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Something in shot to show the size

You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Common problems we fix in Brookvale

Heavy toiletries are the biggest single cause of chips. Taps and wastes cause problems too: water sits around them, and any chip there soon rusts.

The things customers generally mention when they call are:

  • A cracked acrylic bath
  • Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
  • Damage beneath the taps
  • Rust by the waste and overflow

What to look for in a quote

  • How your room will be protected
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
  • When it can be used again

Brookvale: your questions answered

Can pets and children be at home?

Just keep them out of the work area. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.

How do I book?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

When can I have a bath again?

Usually the next day. We will tell you the exact curing time when we finish.

Do the materials smell?

Expect a mild smell while we are working.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just make sure the landlord agrees.

Can you price it without visiting?

In nearly every case. If pictures do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.

Is a repair better than a new one?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Brookvale

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Brookvale use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it normally costs far less than a refit.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

Repair or replace in Brookvale?

People frequently assume a cracked or chipped bath has to come out. Normally it does not: a proper repair gives it years more use, and costs far less than the disruption of a replacement. Our bath repair starts from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Why book with us

  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Fixed prices from your photos
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited

How the visit works

Here’s how a visit typically runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and tidy away. Plan for a few hours, depending on the damage from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
  2. We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
  3. We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
  4. Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
  5. Once it has cured, usually by the following day, the bath is ready to use.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
